Guber Polls: Tribalism Hidden In The Foundations Of Our Country Have Come Out - Bolanle Olukanni

Nigerian media personality, Bolanle Olukanni has shared her thoughts on the tribal sentiments witnessed in the gubernatorial and house of assembly held on Saturday, March 18, IGBERETV reports.

In a post shared on her Twitter handle, Bolanle wrote;

It is now they start seeing it after 8yrs of blackmail, ethnic profiling, insults and rain of abuses on North/Fulani/Muslims.
Since independence, only a group of people are causing all sort of tribal disputes.
When Sardauna made a statement abt Northernisation policy some people thought he was tribal bigot not knowing that the foresight in the mind of Northern leaders is exceptional.
Sardauna said he prefer expatriate to some group of people in Nigeria because they always want to dominate their host at any given opportunity and in this election he is vindicated by the way those people are making silly statements abt Lagos!

Giving OBJ that respect is ridiculous. I'm fully aware of OBJ's administration and there was neither human right nor aorta of democracy under him. Political assassination was so rampant and order of the day, all Elections under him were robberies of people's mandate, courts were made useless, corruption was reborn and elevated.
After Nigeria was releivedy from multiple foreign sanctions against Abacha Govt, OBJ should've build Nigeria we all deserve but he just increase the welfare of the most noisy class of Nigerians (civil servants) and allowed infrastructure and power decayed under his watch. Nigeria's military was crippled because of his so much fear of coup, he was aware of all current insurgencies and banditry but refused to put a permanent stop to at at that premature state.

It is impossible to have no ground in NW and expect to win election. Tinubu is a brilliant person, he saw disappoinment in some places that is why he spent too much time in NW and NC doing town hall meetings and campaigns.
I wonder how can Obi win without bloc votes from NW, NE and NC and still lost in the SW.
Out of the 6 geopolitical zones he managed to win only 3 states in 4 zones.

Crime / Joy Jeff, Nigerian ‘Most wanted’ Prostitution Ring Leader, Extradited To Italy by ArewaNorth: 11:04am On Mar 09, 2023
A woman described as a prominent figure in the Nigerian mafia has been arrested after being on the run since 2010.

She was flown from Abuja back to Rome, Italy, where she has been sentenced to 13 years in prison.

The crimes of the convict, who was tried in her absence, included running a prostitution ring, Italian police said on Wednesday.

48-year-old Joy Jeff, one of the few women on the country’s most-wanted list, was arrested in Nigeria on June 4, 2022.

The international warrant issued before her extradition was facilitated by a treaty signed by Nigeria and Italy in 2020.

Investigators in the city of Ancona said Jeff played a major role in trafficking women to Italy, Spain and the Netherlands.

The victims narrated how they were forced into prostitution by violence and threats.

Video released by the Italian police showed the woman being flown from the Abuja airport to Ciampino airport in Rome.

“Africa today is a strategic location when looking for fugitives and fighting organised crime,” said Vittorio Rizzi, an officer responsible for international coordination.

Now the whole world should ask yorubas what happened?
Buhari was travelling for medical check up non stop and the whole Nigerians were crying and regretting why we should have someone old and sick as president especially the yorubas were saying he should just hand over to a vibrant Osinbajo

Now what happened? Why is it that we have even a more vibrant obi but the yorubas chose even a more weaker and mentally and physically unfit tinubu suffering parkinson disease with dementia not aware of his environment
Knowing fully well that the seat of the president is for someone who is mentally and physically fit capable of being aware of whatever is going on in ondo, edo, sokoto and ebonyi

Tinubu's mental unfitness is viral and global around the world..Indians, Ghanaian, Americans everybody are aware

It means a Yoruba man will be ashamed of themselves around the world now whenever they want to say that their normal useless talk of them being the most accommodating, Liberal and most educated 😉 😀 😜 😄

They can no longer say it especially the people of Ekiti state

Nonsense, both health and death are the will of God.
Buhari has never got sick seriously in his life untill when he was allegedly poisoned in Aso Rock earlier to his tenure. I can confirm to u that all his security aides who were with him the day he was poisoned were allegedly died, only him survived it. I can confidently say if it were ur son that was poisoned to that extent there would've been serious uprises in the Nation. Not more than 5 people ever in this world survived the poison Buhari subjected to but thank God he survived and did well.

Politics / Real Reasons APC Suffered Defeat In Lagos, Kaduna, C/river, Others by ArewaNorth: 9:21am On Mar 05, 2023
The February 25, 2023, presidential and National Assembly elections presented shocking results that have made a landmark in the political history of Nigeria.

This is especially as the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) was defeated in many states seen as its strongholds.

Going by what many pundits described as “not so impressive outing” in some of its strongholds, Daily Trust on Sunday reports that the emergence of APC’s presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the overall winner of the presidential election was dogged with criticisms and litigation from the opposition, even as others believe that Asiwaju worked for his victory.

Tinubu, a former Lagos State governor, was declared the president-elect after polling 8,794,726 votes to defeat 17 other candidates.

Voter turnout is concerning
His closest rival, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), polled a total of 6,984,520 votes, while another top contender, Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP), came third in the election with 6,101,533 votes.

Many were taken by surprise when the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced that the APC candidate was defeated in Lagos, his home state.

Not only in Lagos, the APC was equally defeated in Kaduna, Nasarawa, Yobe, Gombe, Katsina, Plateau, Imo, Ebonyi and Cross River states.

The most surprising part of it was that some of the APC governors couldn’t deliver their states to the party.

Tinubu, the national leader of the APC, couldn’t deliver Lagos and Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje could not deliver Kano. These are two states seen as the vote bank of the party.

Also, Governor Nasir el-Rufai couldn’t deliver Kaduna, even as President Muhammadu Buhari failed to deliver Katsina State to the party.

Similarly, the APC national chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, could not deliver his state, Nasarawa; Senate President Ahmed Lawan couldn’t deliver Yobe; the Plateau State governor, Simon Lalong, who led the APC presidential campaign team, could not deliver his state. He even lost his senatorial bid.

In the same vein, Senator Philip Aduda could not deliver the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), while the Labour Party (LP) shattered the dreams of both the PDP and APC in the South East and South South.

The presidential candidate of the LP, Peter Obi, won in Tinubu’s Lagos, while PDP’s Atiku Abubakar won in Buhari’s Katsina.

Also, Tinubu did not win Osun, said to be his ancestral home in the South West zone. It was won by Atiku. In Kano, it was Kwankwaso who won while Obi won Abdullahi Sule’s Nasarawa.

Atiku also won in Governor Mai Mala Buni’s Yobe based on the results declared by INEC.

Daily Trust on Sunday reports that the real reasons behind these defeats vary from state to state. There is a kind of consensus that ethnic and religious motives, among other factors, were used by some candidates to sway voters’ opinions.

Internal squabble caused defeat in C/River

Sources in the APC confirmed to Daily Trust on Sunday that internal squabble was the major reason that led to the party’s defeat in Cross River State.

Recall that the party in the states was enmeshed in crisis after the primaries last year, leading to litigations. The APC failed to resolve the crisis.

Although the party’s presidential candidate, Tinubu, reportedly waded in during his town hall meeting with critical stakeholders in the state as part of his campaign activities, sources say party members were still aggrieved and not on the same page, leading to its defeat.

Our correspondent reports that some citizens in the state refused to vote for the party because of the hardship they experienced in the land, attributing it to APC’s bad governance.

Beyond APC’s trouble in the state, some party members said they strictly cast their votes for Obi because he appealed to their sentiments.

Katsina

In Katsina State, some stakeholders of the party have listed insecurity, hardship being experienced by citizens as a result of the naira redesign and swap policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and intra-party crisis as reasons the party was defeated.

Some of the voters who spoke with Daily Trust on Sunday in the state said although the problem of insecurity, particularly banditry, did not actually start during the APC administration in the state, it became worse under the party’s reign.

The head of the Department of Political Science, Umaru Musa Yar’adua University, Katsina, Dr Kabir Musa Yandaki, is of the opinion that two major factors contributed to the defeat of the party in the state.

He said, “As you know, Katsina is one of the states bedevilled by insecurity; it is also one of the poor states in the country. So, in this election, people expressed their dissatisfaction with the APC-led administration because of insecurity and poverty.

“Also, Katsina is like a second home to the PDP candidate, Atiku Abubakar because of his relationship with the Yar’adua family. So, many voters considered that factor, coupled with the fact that he is a northerner. These are the reasons they opted to vote for him against Tinubu,” he said.

A chieftain of the party who spoke with one of our correspondents said, “People were hopeful that the Buhari administration would end insecurity, being one of its three major campaign promises. However, while the administration was able to achieve that in the area of Boko Haram insurgency, particularly in the North East, it failed in northwestern states, including Katsina, where banditry, cattle rustling and kidnapping for ransom reared its ugly head before the APC administration and continued to grow from strength to strength.”

Similarly, a chieftain of the party in the state said the naira swap policy had in no small measure got the electorate miffed about the Buhari administration, thus they rejected the APC during the presidential poll.

Sources in the state confirmed that internal wrangling which followed the outcome of last year’s primaries that led to the defection of some aggrieved party members equally contributed to APC’s defeat at the presidential poll in the state.

Recall that some aspirants who couldn’t make it at the primaries jumped ship to other parties to satisfy their political ambitions, especially as consensus was a major issue to many.

The senator representing Katsina North, Ahmed Babba Kaita, who eventually lost his bid to return to the upper chamber, left the ruling APC even before the governorship primary and pitched tent with the major opposition PDP, where he was given a ticket.

Similarly, a few days to the elections, three serving members of the House of Representatives defected to the opposition PDP on the ground that they lost their bid to retain APC’s ticket.

Also, shortly after the governorship primaries, a major party leader, the then secretary to the state government, Dr Mustapha Inuwa, who resigned his position to contest for the governorship seat, also defected to the PDP, where he became the director-general of the Atiku/Lado campaign in the state.

Nasarawa
In Nasarawa State, key players have identified sabotage, conflicting interests and internal wrangling as major causes of APC’s defeat.

Some stakeholders of the party under the aegis of Concerned APC Stakeholders in the state have, however, asked the state governor, Abdullahi Sule, to resolve issues that led to the party’s defeat and pave the way for its victory in the March 11 governorship and state House of Assembly elections.

Addressing a press conference after the meeting yesterday in Abuja, The Rev Dominic Alancha, flanked by others said, “We lost that election because of sabotage and anti-party by some aggrieved.”

Alancha said, “The defeat of the APC in Nasarawa State was orchestrated by internal wrangling, especially from aggrieved state government functionaries. Most of them are APC government appointees who worked against the party and are planning to work against it in the governorship and state assembly elections.

“They are already converging to perfect their gang-up against the party, with a view to ridiculing the national chairman of our party and other leaders of thought.

“We, therefore, say that the governorship and House of Assembly elections slated for March 11 should be different.

“We are calling on all concerned to come out and address the issues that could hamper the victory of the APC in the March 11 election in Nasarawa State.

“We believe that Abdullahi Sule is one of the governors considered to have done well. It is pertinent that we expect the people of Nasarawa State to be circumspect on March 11.”

But beyond the APC crisis in the state, it was gathered that many Christians opted for LP’s Obi on the ground of what they described as “spirit of fairness for a Christian to take over from a Muslim president.”

Moses Buba, a resident of Lafia, the state capital, said he had no regret voting for Obi.

“Both the APC and PDP believe in power shift and we thank APC governors for insisting that power must go to the southern part of Nigeria. However, they were short of completing the ideal by keeping silent on the issue of religion, and that is how Tinubu had his way. This has angered many of us, who made up our minds to go for Obi. Tinubu went for a Muslim vice president but Obi, who is a Christian chose a Muslim from the North. That is why we voted for him,” he said.

Lagos

In Lagos, many expressed shock when INEC announced the results of the poll and Tinubu was defeated by Obi.

With the results declared by the state collation officer and vice chancellor of the Federal University of Technology, Akure, Obi polled 582,454 while Tinubu scored 572,606, with Atiku Abubakar of PDP, coming third with 75,750.

Some analysts have argued that the APC lost in the state because Obi’s supporters, popularly called ‘Obedient’ the majority who are youths, actually voted for the LP.

With a sizable population of the Igbo in Lagos and the upwardly mobile Nigerian youth, it became predictable that Tinubu and Lagos APC were headed for an unprecedented electoral misfortune.

It was also gathered that most Yoruba Christians voted for Obi instead of their kinsman, Tinubu.

The 2020 #EndSARS revolution was also a major factor in APC’s loss as many youths were yet to forgive Tinubu for the episode that climaxed with the shooting of protesters at the Lekki tollgate on October 20, 2020; although the reported shooting is being denied by authorities in the state and the federal government.

The LP chairman in Lagos, Dayo Ekong, said the margin of victory would have been higher if not for the violence and intimidation allegedly unleashed on voters in some local government areas in the state.

A political scientist, Prof Gbade Ojo, said that in addition to the #EndSARS and the expectation of the youth that Tinubu should have handled the issue far better and more humane, the eight-month strike by university teachers was another sad event that led to APC’s defeat in the state.

Kaduna
In Kaduna State, the leading opposition PDP won 14 of the 23 local government areas. The LP won 7 local government areas, all in southern part of the state, while the ruling APC won only two.

The three senatorial seats from Kaduna North (Zone 1), Kaduna Central senatorial seat (Zone 2) and the Kaduna South senatorial (Zone 3), were all won by the PDP.

Our correspondent reports that this has never happened in the political history of the state, that the majority of seats, particularly senatorial seats, were won by the opposition party.

Analysts attributed the failure of the ruling party to many policies of Governor Nasir el-Rufai.

Recall that houses and markets were demolished by the governor as a result of his urban renewal policy. When he came on board, he demolished many houses without paying adequate compensation to owners.

El-Rufai also sacked over 25,000 “unqualified” primary school teachers and recruited new ones. He also sacked hundreds of civil servants, with many yet to receive their entitlements.

More than 15 markets were also demolished in a move to modernise them without paying compensation to traders. The construction of the markets is still ongoing in different parts of the state. The increment of the Kaduna State University tuition fee is another factor that the students, parents felt upset about.

Most of the students have no choice but to drop out of the university because their parents could not afford to pay the new fee. Despite the students’ protest, the governor remained adamant on his decision.

The governor also sacked district and village heads across the 23 local government areas, which brought criticisms against the government as many people claimed the sack of the traditional leaders worsened insecurity in their communities.

A source said, “There are still people in Zaria who are not happy with the decision of the governor to crown his friend as the Emir of Zazzau, Ambassador Nuhu Ahmad Bamalli, after the demise of Emir Shehu Idris.”

The COVID-19 lockdown, which the governor enforced for months where mosques were locked down in 2020, also angered many Muslims in the state.

It was during the lockdown that the COVID-19 enforcement committee agents stormed the house of the popular Islamic scholar, Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi and evacuated his students (almajirai) for allegedly going against the COVID-19 protocols at the middle of the night.

This too didn’t go down well with his followers as they promised to revenge by voting against the APC in the state.

Like other places, religion also played a key role in Kaduna as many Christians voted for Obi instead of Tinubu, Atiku or Kwankwaso.

Governor El-Rufai had few weeks ago, during the governorship campaigns, sought for forgiveness from the residents about some of his decisions, saying he took them with good intentions, but that didn’t change the people’s mind against him in the last election.

Plateau
The APC in Plateau State also lost to the LP, sequel to what many described as lack of dividends of democracy to the people and religious persuasions.

Our correspondent reports that pundits have hinted that some APC leaders would support the PDP in the March 11 governorship and state House of Assembly elections.

Also, many believe that the major reason for the set back in the political fortune of the APC in the state was due to the internal wrangling that characterised the outcome of last year’s governorship primary poll, where Nentawe Yilwadta emerged the party’s candidate.

The aggrieved aspirants in the APC still believe that the process that produced Yilwadta was orchestrated in his favour, who they said was the governor’s candidate.

Others believe that the electorate went for Obi because he is a Christian, unlike Tinubu, Atiku and Kwankwaso, among others.

Ebonyi

Since 1999, Ebonyi has been a PDP state, except in 2020 when the incumbent governor, having won his second tenure, dumped the party to pitch tent with the ruling APC.

The APC, which came into existence after its merger in 2014, has no formidable structure, owing to the reason that those who were members were few, and as such, could not make great impact save for personal aggrandizement.

Governor Umahi defected with executive council members, 13 council chairmen and half of 24 members from the state House of Assembly.

Another reason was the emergence of the Labour Party presidential candidate, Obi, which made many voters to jump ship.

Emmanuel Agunna from Ishieke in Ebonyi Local Government Area of the state, told Daily Trust on Sunday that except for rigging, the APC wouldn’t have won any seat in last Saturday’s election.

Other factors

Pundits said that beyond the factors mentioned above, many of the APC governors did not pay attention to specific campaign tailored at selling the National Assembly candidates in their states as they were always in Abuja concentrating on national politics.

A political scientist, Mohammed Umar Mohammed, said the governors, especially those not seeking for second term, wanted to be very close to Tinubu at the centre.

“Remember that if not for the APC governors, Tinubu wouldn’t have gotten the APC ticket at the first instance.

“They put so much pressure on President Buhari, and when the contest was left open, Tinubu had his say. But unfortunately, I don’t know whether it was by accident or design, most of the APC governors, including those seeking for Senate seats, did not pay attention to troubles in their backyards, they were following Tinubu left, right and centre, and on the D-Day, many voted in anger.

“There are many lessons to learn from the presidential election. Our leaders are now fully aware that voters are no longer gullible, and this is good for our democracy. The only sad thing is that we allowed religion and tribe to influence our decisions,” Mohammed said.

benuejosh:
To all nairalanders who insulted me, i forgive you all because you were all fools.

I have countless of times criticized Ortom on this platform and i never hid the fact that he was a looser and someone who was just deceiving those who were not in Benue that truly there was fulani herdsmen killings whereas he was the one instigating the crisis and killing the locals. Ortom went into the bush, packed all the cows belonging to the herders and took them to his farm. When the herders came for attack, they killed the locals thinking they were the ones who stole their cows. Ortom will take advantage of that and tell the whole world that fulani are killing his people whereas he was the one causing the problem. We knew this truth in Benue and waited patiently for him.

I also said it on this platform that for Ortom to associate with Obi, it will be the main reason why Obi will fail.

Benue was the first state to adopt AC/ACN in the whole of North Central. A true Benue man has always associated with the Yoruba man while also having a good and perfect relationship with the true Fulani man. Go and verify! A real Fulani man respect a Tiv man more than his brother. Go and verify! Why was Ortom causing this division? Until Ortom came to power, a Fulani man and a Tiv man were always good friends. And not for once were they fighting. Ortom brought this fight and division. Causing the death of thousands of Benue people. We will NEVER forget.

Ortom in his past eight years of Governor NEVER commissioned any project that will bring development in the state. Not a single project. He shouted fulani herdsmen for 8 years. He became the Personal Assistant to Wike instead of concentrating on bringing development to the state. Ortom set Benue back.

If Ortom built a road, it was because he bought a piece of land along the road. Go and verify! I am not saying what I don’t know. We NEVER like Ortom!

Today i stand tall and happy that Ortom failed in his bid to become a senator and also failed in delivering Obi in the state. Benue people are exposed and enlightened.

A gentle reminder. Benue has always been an APC state that was governed by PDP. Ortom won his election on the platform of the APC before jumping ship back to PDP. He should have known better that a payback was waiting for him. We don’t take nonsense in Benue.

May God bless u abundantly!

Those easterners you mentioned learned from the north how unruly they are during voting.
It's understandable you guys are aided in population by polygamy cos Islam permits it. But adding underage voters to the list shows you guys are born cheats and always try to win at all cost. Yet your region is terribly afflicted and underdeveloped!
If not that I don't v time too, I ll show you images of various underaged voters in the north.

No more writing of fake results due to BIVAS. They has never been turn out more than this in previous elections, they usually write what the feel like on the result sheet.
At the end of the day, the final results maybe be a shocker.



not impressed about what? what has change from 2019-2023 when compared to 2015 -2019.

The north can not have trailer load of votes again as far as BVAS is concern, that era is over. It would even be worst than this when INEC finally switch to electronic voting

You people always think through your anus.
It is obvious that most Nigerians are tired of this democracy where leaders come with fake promises and win elections. Many people come and go for abt 24yrs now, then tell me if these same characters we have been hearing since 1999 we won't get tired of them?
Do u want to say all those registered voters are ghost?

Illiteracy of the citizen

I remember a lot of people from southern part of Nigeria have been laughing at hausa tribe that they were colonized with using a religious book.

On the other hand Yoruba and Igbo Who colonized with a flag which the fulanis give them. And they will tell you they are the most educated black when they are bunch of illiterate. Just give them a flag and you will see their illiteracy. Just tell them the word Nigeria and you will see their illiteracy.

The so-called illiterate from the southern part of Nigeria will be still killing themselves for Nigeria and a green white green flag which is being used to colonize their illiteracy. I told Yoruba and igbos to fight for their own country rather they were putting

I can boldly say Tinubu is clearing the entire North as it stands with heavy figures. Kwakwanso is the only competitor we have got. And he is only restricted to Kano and Jigawa. Next time you hear 'Fear-North structure' , you will never take it for granted.

Even your saviour on Twitter David Hundeyin is starting to scream the predicted 'rigging' we promise you will wail about. Very early to cry I must say. Reality is already dawning on him. Very early !

INEC are already uploading the results.
Make sure you stay safe and alive. I promise I will beat you mercilessly, I promise you are never our mate in politics, I promise you my structure will always come through for me.


I am ready to fulfil those promises now.

The fact is this may be fake news. But out of every rumour, there's the truth. Those that were imported to Nigeria in 2015 to vote out GEJ are still roaming the country causing havocs. Somehow, the north aided evil and we are reaping the evil

You ppl are thinking through ur anus.
How is it possible to expect a North to allow a foreigner to vote when PDP, APC and NNPP has spread of strong holds and none of them will allow others to vote against their party.
It is unfortunate that ur education is close to useless because u believe every lies feed to ur empty head on pulpits and social media!
Politics / 11 Commissioners Dump PDP For APC In Sokoto As Tinubu Begins Rally by ArewaNorth: 2:05pm On Feb 09, 2023
No fewer than eleven commissioners in Sokoto State have dumped the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
The development followed an announcement by the state’s Deputy Governor, Manir Muhammad Dan Iya, resigning his membership in the main opposition party.

DAILY POST had reported that Muhammad made the disclosure in a letter directed to the PDP Ward Chairman of the Kware Ward, Kware Local Government Area of the State.
Reports of the defection hit the media a few hours before the presidential campaign rally of the ruling party.

The APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, and his running mate, Kashim Shettima, are expected to land in the state for the campaign rally on Thursday.

The defectors are expected to be officially received into APC by President Muhammadu Buhari during the rally.

I thought they said that one has to be a member of the Organisation Of Islamic Countries to access a Sukuk loan? Did Buhari put Nigeria in the OIC without our consent?
Nigeria has been in OIC for abt 40yrs. Sukuk loan is a great opportunity for us in this trying economic time ..

I'm happy that it is Christians who started this with GEJ in 2014 and now doing it again but always in a rush to accuse others of religious politics.
It is unfortunate for u that Obi won't even come 2nd in the coming election no matter how much pastors will echoe it and I pity the political future of minority Christians u deceived into this politicking!

When will Nigeria have a central data base which include identities and fingerprint for its citizens.

Putting agencies under different ministries to work together requires changes in some Govt acts that established them.
When Pantami came he requested National Identity Management office be returned under Digital Economy from Presidency so that it will be easier for Govt to use NSP to gather the data of her citizens.
Should we have a sound NSA in the future he may advise next president for a centralized data base but atleast National Identity Management office is doing similar job, it requires the insertion of DNA to finish the job now. Now National Identity Management office has the captured data of more than 100m Nigerians!
Politics / ISWAP Distributes Old Naira Notes To Passengers On Borno Highway by ArewaNorth: 10:54am On Jan 31, 2023
Suspected members of the Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) have distributed huge amounts of old notes to scores of commuters in the Lake Chad Basin ahead of the deadline of the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) cashless policy, sources have said.

Our correspondent gathered that the incident occurred after Mairari village, along the Maiduguri/Monguno highway on Saturday in Guzamala LGA of Borno State.

A source told the Daily Trust in Maiduguri that the ISWAP members were dressed in military camouflage and drove two gun trucks.

A resident, Bakura Ibrahim, said the insurgents positioned themselves under a tree and stood by the roadside with bags of old naira notes.

“We left Monguno at about 12 noon. As we approached Mairari, there were no existing checkpoints in the area; we were apprehensive.

“They stopped us and asked if we were going to Maiduguri, then they started giving each person 100,000 old naira notes, but we could not believe it. They gave each occupant of the Golf Volkswagen,” Bakura said.

Another source added, “The group simply told us, “If you think you can go to their banks and change it to new naira, go and do so; may Allah make it beneficial to you.”

Politics / President Buhari Commissions Tier-Four Data Centre In Kano (Pictures) by ArewaNorth: 2:03am On Jan 31, 2023
President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday in Kano commissioned the National Tier IV Data Centre under the supervision of Federal Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy, and office complex of Galaxy Backbone Limited.

‘‘The Tier IV Data Centre is the highest anywhere in the world and this is the best Centre in the country and the first in Northern Nigeria’’ Prof. Isa Ali Pantami, the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, told the President at the unveiling of the plaque to commemorate the formal inauguration.

“The reliability of data collection of the facility is 99.99% so it is almost a hundred per cent reliable,” he said.

Prof. Pantami further avowed that the centre would improve the digital economy, provide job opportunities and enhance cybersecurity while supporting the country to consolidate the gains of the digital economy.

The centre, which Pantami described as a technology-upgraded facility, is, according to him, built to provide more storage facilities for both public and private sectors across the country, with its 41 terabytes of memory capacity and 2.2-petabyte storage capacity.

“Government has its main data centre in Abuja, another one in the South, which is a backup, and this is another one in the North West.

“That of Abuja and the South were established some years ago. But this centre here is higher because it is a tier-four data centre. The one we have in Abuja is a tier-three data centre. So, this is an upgrade of the existing data centres we have in the country in both private and public sectors. It is world-class,” Pantami disclosed.

The project was executed by Galaxy Backbone Limited.
